London Half Marathon Training Plan - Finish

About this plan

Targeting London Half Marathon? This is the plan for it. 17 weeks, a lean 5.1 hours a week, every one of them built around the 13.1 mile half marathon rather than adapted from a template.

Three weeks up, ease back, repeat: that rhythm is what makes the fitness stick. Intensity is rationed rather than sprayed around, every target reads off your own threshold pace and heart rate, and the plan gives your endurance, your pace and the durability to hold it late on the attention each one needs.

Follow it properly and the aim is clear: get you across the line in good shape at London Half Marathon.
